Henslaved Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Was my OH birthday a few days ago and I was racking my brains deciding what to get for him, and then I know, I'll get him this Weighing in at a hefty 3lb 9.5 oz Kinda dwarfs the regulars Needless to say he was chuffed to bits, you see the only reason we got chickens (which I ended up looking after ) was because of his love for eggs. He has tried most of the others e.g. duck, goose, guinea fowl, quail etc. So, egg dipping party tomorrow, bring your own french stick Nearly forgot to mention it's an Ostrich egg not from my little lady Will maybe get him a couple of Emu eggs next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
